review 1: A down-to-earth read about dilemmas that all managers will face in the course of their management career. The book offers general guidelines especially on the Do-Nots of management based on the past experiences of the author which is really good for novice managers. The great part about reading this book is the author's sincere sharing of his experiences and not some "framework" or "case-study" from some study.
review 2: Really the idea behind this book was brilliant: a management manual from someone who can actually write. Most things of this type are so deadly, but Mr. Gilman is a former reporter, an editor and quite an engaging writer. Many of the stories made me smile or laugh. Although I don't have a boss right now, we have all had bosses, good and not
... moreso good. This book helps you recognize those qualities and practices that impacted your own employment. Not a subject I'd normally be interested in, but I read it quickly and with enjoyment. less

Too fluffy and self-absorbed to be of value.
